he went on a trial at Newcastle United along with fellow U-21 teammate Jóan Símun Edmundsson. Jóan ended up going out on-loan to Newcastle in 2010 until the end of the English season, but Brian Kerr said about Mouritsen "Chris liked them both, but felt that Christian, at 21, needed first-team football, which Newcastle couldn’t offer him." In July 2010, Christian went on trial with English League One club Tranmere Rovers. Christian signed for Valur in November 2010 along with two teammates from the Faroese national team, Jónas Þór Næs and Pól Jóhannus Justinussen. International career Mouritsen has represented the Faroe Islands at Under-17, U19 and U21 level, as well at full international level. He was the Faroe Islands U-21 captain and was also part of the U-21 team that famously beat Russia 1–0 in the UEFA U-21 Championship qualifying match. He was picked in the main squad to face Poland in May 2006, but didn't get to make his appearance in the match. His first full cap came 3 years later when Faroe Islands took on Iceland in a friendly, in 2009. Faroe Islands won the match 2–1.
